teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[esteban]

Estaban - if my brain is not fried and my memory is serving correctly, I think i tried the D.E. on DS as well, and it's pure shait...

Dungeon Explorer on the PSP is Dungeon Explorer in name only.  It's a straightforward and rather bland hack 'n' slash dungeon crawler that wouldn't be all that bad if it didn't overstay its welcome (it's kinda fun in the beginning); but it's loooooooong and not in a good way with lots of differing content to enjoy.  I gave up on it at about 90 hours, after perusing the internet and finding I was a bit less than halfway through.  Yeah, 200+ hours of grinding..... 

There's some variety with occasional special missions and eventual big boss fights (each dungeon has a mini-boss, but they're nothing special), but you mostly play the same generic missions over and over and over again just to gain enough experience, and you won't stand a chance if you move on to the higher dungeons too soon.  Pro tip: change classes as soon as possible to unlock the best classes (check teh interwebz).  Better pro tip: play something else.

Damn. Thanks for the scoop. I have to investigate the DS version that someone mentioned, too.

I still think the music may have some entertainment value? PSP tunes...anything to get excited about? Or was the soundtrack more ambient?

Yes, I'm going to look at YouTube videos, but that can't substitute for your 2¢ 

Damn, I'm sure you are correct. I'll have to watch some videos.

I love those white / colorful saturn pads whisper.  Such a nice color scheme.

By complete random chance I shot a load of cash on something I hadn't planned on buying til next year sometime.  The only way I was going to buy one is if it fell in my lap... well this one fell in my lap so I bit.  Coworker had pre-ordered it, picked it up and then decided he didn't really want it.  Sold it to me for his cost.   Picked up Call of Dookie so I could play with some friends (friends who only play CoD) I haven't investigated any launch games so I have no idea what is good / not good.  I'll have to do some looking.

All that said... I'll bet we can all agree as to what is the best part of this haul....   

Ducktales!  Yeah, everyone should buy it.

Nice Beamer!

I am so pissed I bought Ducktales for my Wii U digitally, before the disc version came out.

I picked up Killzone, Knack, and CoD with my PS4.  So far only played Knack and Killzone.  Not a CoD fan, but my friends will want to come over and play.

Knack is pretty good so far in the 3 or so hours I put into it.  Reviews were pretty negative, but I think the co-op makes the game really work.  If I was playing by myself, probably wouldn't enjoy it nearly as much.

Hey Beams / Clash - how are u guys doing with your consoles?  I read about these dead system problems popping up here and there.. seems like a design defect ...  hope yours are safe and sound!

Don't jinx me.

[BlueBMW]

No problems with mine so far.  My 1st gen ps3 is still going strong and I fully expect (and demand) that this PS4 does the same. Ok maybe Im just being wishful...

[Arkhan]

I got a PS4 too.  I didn't take pictures.   We beat Knack already.

resogun and contrast = f*ck yes

I don't see no RGB....

[Arkhan]

all 1084 monitors have RGB on them.  Either in DIN or DB9 form.

EDIT:  The one in the video looks like a 1084S, so it should have a DIN on the back for RGB.

You can plug an Amiga 500 in to composite with just a normal RCA cable, but it will be black and white.


I might still have a cable here for Amiga 500-->1084 monitor.    I'll see if I do still.  It's free if I can find it.

[Tatsujin]

Weren't there also some with scart RGB input? at least in europe I think we had them. but most were DINs.
